Of the 432 questionnaires that were sent to functioning addresses, 99 were completed and returned for a 23 percent response rate. The responses are identified as percentages of those responding to that particular question. Because not all questions were answered by all people, percentages allow the most accurate comparison between questions . The issues were grouped into broad, somewhat arbitrary, categories to allow easier reference. kef3574D Attachments TIGARD TRIANGLE QUESTIONNAIRE 81 own Do you own, lease or rent this property? 18 rent/lease If owned, how long have you owned this property? average 15.5 years Owners 51.9% Y 48.1%: Do you live on this property?
